Do you remember high school? Remember having to read all those challenging books and then having lively debates in English class about what you thought happened? Where the teacher MADE you come up with theories and then asked you to prove it by pulling evidence out of the story to support your position?

Yup. There you have it. Welcome to hell.

That doesn't sound like an endorsement, does it? Except, in this case, it is.

Neu has created a small town where the cast of characters are instantly recognizable, and relatable, and some are even completely over the top - and I can say I know of at least three people in my life who could have been Teddy. Teddilicious....ha! That was awesome.

The real question in this spooky little Halloween read is what do you think happened? To me it was very Six Sense-ish - I see dead people - wait, what is going on!? No, what....REALLY! Oh My God!

The descriptions of ghostly visions are violent and bloody - just as they should be for this dark holiday celebration. What terrible things happened at the CAGE facility? Did Erica's plants mutate and make everyone crazy? Did the meteor storm and subsequent lightning have an impact?

That's sort of up to you to decide. What vicious version of hell does your mind create?
And aren't some of the best horror stories the things our imagination comes up with after the movie is over?

Well done, sir. Well done.
